How to Fold Things into Thirds, Sevenths, and Thirty-Sevenths!

This is a popular interactive lecture of mine and I recently had the honour to present is at the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.

Here’s a recording of it!

And here is a follow-on video about its connection to Artin’s Conjecture.

  Written for educators - and their students too! - this website, slowly growing, takes all the content Tanton has developed in his books, videos, and workshops, and organizes it into short, self-contained, and complete, curriculum units proving that mathematics, at all points of the school curriculum, can be joyous, fresh, innovative, rich, deep-thinking, and devoid of any rote doing! Let's teach generations of students to be self-reliant thinkers, willing to flail and to use their common sense to "nut their way" through challenges, to assess and judge results, and to adjust actions to find success. (Great life skills!)
